An owner of a Chick-fil-A in North Carolina was fined over $6,000 and required to pay a handful of employees in back wages after the Department of Labor found multiple child labor and minimum wage standards were violated.

A report released by the DOL on Monday said the Chick-fil-A location in Hendersonville, N.C., which is owned by Good Name 22:1 LLC, allowed three workers under the age of 18 to operate, load or unload a trash compactor, which resulted in $6,450 in fines.

Federal regulations surrounding child labor prohibit employed minors to perform hazardous jobs.

Good thing these nannies didn’t visit the farms and ranches I grew up near. Child labor was mandatory.

Chik-fil-a violating child labor laws is nothing — they support drag queen grooming sessions!

Don’t buy from them unless you are a groomer.

I have never seen a restaurant with a trash compactor, they usually have 1-3 dumpsters but that's it. The only places I've seen trash compactors at is hotels or big office buildings. And garbage trucks.

FALSE!
